Abstract
Neutron di ff raction, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal analysis were performed to investigate the composition, structure, and formation conditions of the magnesium carbonate hydrate nesquehonite. The crystal structure of deuterated nesquehonite was analyzed by Rietveld re fi nement of the time – of – fl ight neutron powder di ff raction pattern. The crystal structure possessed the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / n with lattice parameters of a = 7.72100(12) Å, b = 5.37518(7) Å, c = 12.1430(3) Å, β = 90.165(4)°, and V = 503.956(13) Å 3 . The re fi nement with a fi nal crystal structure model of deuterated nesquehonite converged to wRp = 4.22% and Rp = 3.50%. The result of structure re fi nement showed that two deuterium atoms are coordinated to the O1, O2, and O6 atoms as a water molecule in the nesquehonite. The fact that the three water molecules were included in the structure suggests the structural formula of the nesquehonite obtained in the study should be written as MgCO 3 ·3H 2 O not Mg(HCO 3 )(OH)·2H 2 O.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences (JMPS) publishes original articles, reviews and letters in the fields of mineralogy, petrology, economic geology, geochemistry, planetary materials science, and related scientific fields. As an international journal, we aim to provide worldwide diffusion for the results of research in Japan, as well as to serve as a medium with high impact factor for the global scientific communication
Given the remarkable rate at which publications have been expanding to include several fields, including planetary and earth sciences, materials science, and instrumental analysis technology, the journal aims to encourage and develop a variety of such new interdisciplinary scientific fields, to encourage the wide scope of such new fields to bloom in the future, and to contribute to the rapidly growing international scientific community.
To cope with this emerging scientific environment, in April 2000 the journal''s two parent societies, MSJ* (The Mineralogical Society of Japan) and JAMPEG* (The Japanese Association of Mineralogists, Petrologists and Economic Geologists), combined their respective journals (the Mineralogical Journal and the Journal of Mineralogy, Petrology and Economic Geology). The result of this merger was the Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences, which has a greatly expanded and enriched scope compared to its predecessors.
